I feel as though I’m doing the bloody hokey jokey the amount I’ve been in and out of this forum over the years 😅😂

Hello!
Ive a long old story but I won’t bore you with it unless you’re interested… I’m 31 TTC our first, and currently 9dpo with a chemical way back in November. I’m just looking for some company and hopefully some positive vibes between the group so someone… anyone gets their BFP! Hopefully me too of course 🤞
We all need a little bit of positivity so let’s do this together ✨

@Daniki omg let’s hope it’s implantation bleeding ! How many dpo are you now ?

@Yolo23 i know it’s so frustrating I wish I had just shut up now lol . Any news on house ? I’m cycle day 17 so 4dpo but honestly if I can’t fall pregnant having lots of sex I can’t imagine once over ovulation will work 😂

Daniki · 21/11/2023 22:19

@Yolo23 hopefully! Aw I'm the same i examine it so much, 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you! Xx

I just had some brown/pink spotting there when I wiped after a wee! Not sure what it is--obv brain is like please be implantation bleeding! Tried to feel my cervix but I haven't a clue what I'm at or looking for. Think it was soft or squishy 🤮😂
Iv also had no symptoms, but to be fair with any of pregnancies I didn't have any!

@Tottenhaminmyblood @Daniki hello ladies! Exactly the same… trying to keep my mind at peace with what’ll be will be - but as usual, I go to “I wonder if” and end up googling like mental 😂😂

Im 8dpo today, no real symptoms to be honest. Had a few cramps and things previous days but absolutely zero today!

@Daniki its good that you are so involved with your consultant though! To be able to make the changes and try some things is really good 😊 I hope the next cycle has more of an impact for you!

@Tottenhaminmyblood I hate it when moods or arguments coincide with fertile week 😂 it happens! What CD are you? X

@Tottenhaminmyblood hey! Iv been quiet too, been trying to keep relaxed 😂 which I think I was this month but I think I'm out again. Going by my app im 10dpo abs I tested negative this morn. My progesterone results are in today, 38.5 so not much higher than the last cycle 🥺 going to try another cycle on the 5mg and if that doesn't work the next option is follicle tracking and trigger shot! Xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 21/11/2023 09:42

@Yolo23 @Daniki sorry I haven’t been on for awhile . How are you both ? I caved and bought some Clearblue ovulation tests but had a week of arguing with other half so only managed to DTD once the day before ovulation so not expecting anything . Where are you both in your cycles ? Xx

@Daniki @Tottenhaminmyblood We’ve managed to catch the timings right for once 🤣

Yesterday was flashing smiley and today was static smiley so we’ve caught it just in time for ovulation tomorrow before OH goes away with work (6am)… keeping fingers toes and everything crossed. This exact time last year we DTD and had our first ever BFP at the end of the month - turned out chemical so I’m hoping this November we may have luck again followed by more luck 🤞😅✨ you never know…

Christmas decs! Oh my gosh 🎄I’m not quite ready for that yet… I have started listening to a few festive tunes though 🤶

@Tottenhaminmyblood I hope the relaxed approach works for you! ❤️

@Tottenhaminmyblood hopefully the relaxed approach works for us this month 😂 we're going to sneak in one now before collecting our son 😂😂 oh deadly I'd love to put the tree up but I'd be getting a divorce if I did 😂😂😂 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 12/11/2023 13:24

@Daniki thats great fun !! You upping your dose gives a lot of hope to this fertile window . I have decided not to track ovulation this month and just dtd lots lol . I am getting all the Christmas decs out 🤣🤣xx

Daniki · 12/11/2023 11:15

@Tottenhaminmyblood hey! Doing ok, still haven't tracked so unsure on ovulation but has EWCM on Friday and again today so must be one of these days! Going Santa shopping now so that will be fun 😂 how are you? X

Tottenhaminmyblood · 12/11/2023 11:07

@Yolo23 @Daniki how are u both ? Xx

@Tottenhaminmyblood thank you! Yes I will get onto purchasing some wedding insurance later just in case 😅

Ah bless you - that’s so kind of you to do that for people impacted. Yes, my florist seems to be lovely and I love her work! It’s the one thing I’m confident will go perfectly (so long as they stay in business of course!!).

How are you doing now? I seen AF arrived. Hope you’re ok ❤️

Weve not managed to DTD yet… but having negative digital ovulation tests anyway so not that pressured. Will make sure we start later… 😈 xx

@Yolo23 i really feel for you , I think the industry is in a mess and I think it will take a lot of time to recover . When a big wedding flower company went bust and loads of brides round here lost their money , I did all the flowers at cost price . It was just horrific . I would pay your venue costa and any suppliers that you can on credit card . No the stress isn’t going to make u feel all jazzy but keep your chin up . Hope you’ve chosen some beautiful flowers for your bouquet ! Xx

Thanks ladies! The shops are entirely empty and no one can get hold of the staff. There’s mixed messages atm so I’ve spoke to my bank and we’re trying to get the money back so I can just start again - we will see! I’m a bit bummed out so not feeling all jazzy 🤩✨🤣

Hopefully I can get into the zone and start DTD every other day from tomorrow maybe… feeling exhausted atm!

How are you guys doing? Xx

OP posts:
Daniki · 07/11/2023 17:04

@Yolo23 oh god his stressful 😩 that happened over here aswell, some people were lucky and some weren't. I'd land to the shop and see if you can speak to someone in person if possible! 🙈 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 07/11/2023 13:54

@Yolo23 keeping my fingers crossed ! June lovely month for a wedding . It’s happening all over the place with wedding suppliers and venues unfortunately. Hopefully u paid by credit card xx

@Tottenhaminmyblood thank you! I’ve tried to make contact but it looks as though the business has completely gone under. It’s in the news and there’s lots of brides like myself who are left in the lurch.

Ive contacted my bank this morning to see if I can get a refund - they’re looking into it. Fortunately our wedding isn’t until June and so if we can get the money back, I’ve still got time to rectify the problem but I feel really sorry for some that haven’t even had their dresses ordered and have paid in full, and those who are due to get married in the coming weeks - they were storing dresses but there’s apparantly been debt collectors. It’s all a bit chaos!

The house is still available but we’ve not sold ours yet and it’s looking less likely the nearer to Christmas so eeeeeek please keep your fingers crossed lol Xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 07/11/2023 13:04

@Yolo23 I’m so sorry about the house hopefully it will work out ok and you will get the house you want ? Have you spoke to the wedding dress shop or anything ? I’m a wedding florist and I can imagine how stressed you are . Xx

@Tottenhaminmyblood he goes before OD so we have all this week I guess and then the weekend and OD is Tuesday expected…

Tbh I’ve other concerns on my mind right now! My bridal shop has closed and so as it stands right now, I don’t know what’s happening to my wedding dress 🙃😅🤣 Honestly we don’t have much luck!

Im really deflated as we will also likely loose a house we love because we’re not proceedable too this week.. so DTD isn’t at the forefront of my brain right now. Hopefully I’ll snap out if it by tomorrow 🙏🤪

Daniki · 06/11/2023 15:01

@Tottenhaminmyblood it seems to be finished now! Oh I'm sorry, it's so cruel to be late and af comes 😫 best of luck to us all for next cycle 🤞🏻 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 06/11/2023 12:34

So I’ve started spotting Af is on her way . I’ve gone into my car and just crying . I am two days late and was so hopeful . Just feels like it’s never going to happen xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 05/11/2023 20:00

@Daniki that’s lovely you had a lovely weekend away . What part of Ireland are you in ? I am in Suffolk we have had extreme flooding here last few weeks been awful . Yeah I couldn’t cope with 7 days . Hopefully it’s easing off for you now xx

Daniki · 05/11/2023 18:54

@Tottenhaminmyblood it's very annoying! It used to be 5 days but now is 7 days. Mentioned it to the specialist but she didn't seem concerned 🤔 altho I wonder is it it do with progesterone levels! One of my friends has a 4 day really light period and is just horrified by mine 😂 lovely time away! Back home now we were watching home alone there, such a horrible evening it is lashin to the heavens 😖 xx

Tottenhaminmyblood · 05/11/2023 18:43

@Daniki i don’t know how you deal with that I’ve always been 4 days any longer and I think I’d go insane lol . How was your weekend away ? I have cramps and usual symptoms of af so no point I must just be late this month . Just putting it down to all the stress xx
